Browsing in Lip

I have to admit that I am a sucker of cute packaging….it is just hard to resist! Especially when it can double as a showing off item…

See the Tokyo Milk Iced Green Tea Lip Balm below and you know what I mean.

On the little tiny box, it says: Kissing is like drinking salted water - drink & your thirst increases. - Chinese Proverb.

How true!

Nobody wants to kiss rough lips either.

Don’t you just have to love the ladies in cheong sam? I am still keeping the box with me now :P Not sure what can I use it for…but it serves as a deco item on my desk now.

Now move on to the content - the lip balm itself…

Long hours in air-conditioned room has really done a lot to my skin, and also my lips.

Strawberry Flavoured Lipbalm

When I was given a chance to try a home-made lip balm, I was excited! Home-made makes everything sounds interesting somehow.  Simplicity is what first popped to my mind.

Did you see the little dainty flower on the top left corner of the packaging? It is so cuteee! <3

They have been very generous to offer me to try out the Megalips Velvetshine. The shade I chose: Chinatown Glam 32008.

lipvelvet + lipshine in chinatown glam

It is a duo-lip gloss.  Duo colors is nothing new. But lipvelvet is definitely something new to me. And…the MEGASHINE.

Yes girls, I am raving about the Clarins HydraQuench Cream Mask, once again!

But this time, it is different because I use the mask now for rescuing my lips too! I was told that we could use this mask on lips and eyelids too.

Bee and ParisB complimented that how my lips don’t have much lines, I didn’t think much about it till they reminded me that it could be the help of the HydraQuench Cream Mask that I have been using on my lips!

So, I am sharing this awesome tips with you girls now. ;)

Don’t we just love versatile products? :D

hydraquench crea mask on lips

Wash your lips clean, remove any remaining lipstick/gloss with remover.

Best if you have scrub too. I have lip scrub from Benefit but it is still practically brand new because I am so lazy to use it!

Leave the mask on for 10 or 15 mins. Don’t worry about swallowing it. I have tasted it numerous time, and trust me, it is not fatal because I am still alive now!

BUT, it did not taste good either. It tastes like..eating something that smells good but without any flavor.  Perhaps someday someone will formulate a flavored lip mask that we could swallow?  ;)

15 mins with clarins hydraquench cream mask

After 15 mins, the mask is almost dried. As you can see, my lips are dry too. And chapped sometimes!!!

I have lip balm but i am just too lazy to use it too. *SIGH*

Worry not… this mask is a god-sent.

The result…?

UPDATE (20/07/09) : Finally managed to call the SA who served me, she explained to me that the first squeeze of the lipgloss is actually the oil, I apparently have to squeeze the oil out to get to the content. She admitted that she did not explain clearly to me the other day. And when I asked if i could still change the original back, she said I have to go to the store to let her check and see.

T____T major embarrassment and failure.

But but, I have something to justify! If you buy something and suspect that it is not what you wanted, will you use more of the products to ‘test’ or ’see’?

……………..

I have heard about sampling before buying in Kielh’s store and I was quite impressed about it. Well, that is true.

So, recently, I stepped into Kielh’s Mid Valley to browse since I have heard so much raves about Kielh’s balm and brightening scrub.  And, the SA who served me was helpful with my queries and she even tested some of the products on my hand, including the lipbalm.

She offered me to try a SPF15 lipbalm in red in the store (with a Q-tip).  I remember she was telling me that although the color looks really red, but it goes on nicely on the lips. True that,  when I applied the color on my lips, I immediately like the color and told her to get me a tube.

So, I proceeded paying for the tube  and she gave me 3 samples of other products. I went home happy.

So the next day, before I use any products, as usual, take a picture of it.

Then I realized, THIS IS NOT THE SHADE I WANTED!

So, stoned, I went to the kielh’s site to check for the shades.

And oh so I thought, it could be 58B instead of the 30G.

So, I called up Kielh’s and asked for the SA who served me (I got her namecard). She was not working. And the guy who answered my call just casually asked me to go back to the store to change it with the receipt. He didn’t sound apologetic at all.  FINE.

my lip stuff natural lip balm lychee

Having read so many good reviews on this My Lip Stuff lip balm, I got myself one too!

True to its claim, it really moistures well compared to other lip balm.  And the moisture can last for 1-2 hrs for me even with drinking and all.

Love the hands-free classic tube design :D and easier to use it all time all day. At USD$2.50, it is really affordable, but too bad we have to pay for the shipping and all for it to get to our country.

I can’t really find anything bad about this other than its lychee scent. I guess lychee is a bad choice since insteading of smelling like lychee, it tastes like the cherry in cough mixture. =/

Have you tried any? What is the best scent you recommend?
